Trying to get prepped for all my welding needs. Id like to Pre-fit the rear sway bar so I can determine exactly we’re to mount the bushing mount backing plates. I want to be sure they’re perpendicular to the sway bar in just the right spot
1. See first pick. Do I install the bushings in the drop links first and then install the ball ends? Or, do I install the ball cups on the balls and then have them pressed into the drop links? Any tips on how to get these hard bushings into the drop links? 2. Do I simply replace the new shock base metal rod labeled #1 with #2. See second pic I’ve read the rear sway bar mounts instructions on the Pelican Parts web site. Very helpful- He just doesn’t cover the actual sway bar assembly. Bar is 16mm. Installing on a 1970. Many thanks.   |

Do like Clay said. A giant pair of channel locks and it helps to lube the metal ball ends. I used glycerin. I didn't need to heat them in water but it won't hurt if you do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Good to know when I make it to the next step. Thanks y'all , Todd |
